The Call for the Passes.

Not until the railway companies be-
gan to call in the passes was there any
adequate conception, outside of the off,
ces from which they were issued, of the
number Of them, as a Georgia railway
official says 5000 persons travel on
passes in that State, and of the delight
with which they were received. The
pass was an added luxury to travel, and
therefore the rich man sought to go free
as earnestly as the poor one. With a
pass in the pocket, scenery was more
beautiful, company was more enjoyable,
the recreation was more sweet. There
was in it that something which makes
the stolen melon more toothsome TO the
boy. Perhaps it was the consciousness
Of getting something for nothing, the
hope of which attracts multitudes to the
centers of speculation. Perhaps it was
the satisfaction of feeling that getting a
pass was getting ahead OF the soulless
corporations. Whatever it was, it was
nice. That is evident from the reluc-
tance with which the passes were given
up. The reluctance has found express
ion in prose and poetry, in waggery and
wrath. A collection OF the newspaper
waits on the subject would make the
most readable part of the literature of
the Interstate Commerce law.

THE cave-in that occurred at Plains,
a small mining village three miles north
of Wilkesbarre, on Sunday night, was
small earthquake, yet it might have been
equally as perilous TO those Immediately
concerned as though it had been a shock
extending niles. The hill upon which
the upper part of Plains is built has been
literally undermined, and as the coal
has extended in some places to within
100 feet of the surface, it could only be
question of time when the earth would
settle down to fll the space caused by
its removal. Several houses were badly
wrecked by the cave-in. but no persons
were injured. Another cave i'll occurred
at PiststOn on Monday morning. These
are only the fOrerunneTs of what will
follow throughout the hard coal region
and not unlikely to happen in soft coal
sections. Much Of Pennsylvania sur
face will be undermined during the next
two decades. and cave-ins will become
so frequent as not to attract much atten-
ton, yet it will make people cautious
about building OF living in houses direct
ly over coal mines.

THE thick-and-thiD friends of Blaine
profess TO regard John Sherman's south
ern tour with great deal OF complacen-
cy. They seem to think that Sherman
Will not stand in the way OF their hero if
he should really want the Presidential
nomiLation. But the casual remark of
Mr.. Wharton Barker, an original Blame
man, that Blaine cannot be elected and
John Sherman can,n has caused a great
f1uttering in the camp of the Maine
statesman. Mr. H. c. Parsons, of West
Virginia, one OF BlSine's old cronies. has
been favOring the public with ar extern
sive interview anent Mr.. Wharton Bar
ker's brief remark. Mr.. Parsons goes
over great deal of ancient political
history IN order to show that Blaine is
the strongest man that the Republicans
could nominate, but he does not appear
to be very confident that the Republican
party will ever be restored to power. He
says "the relations of Blaine to his party
are somewhat similar TO those OF Clay to
the Wing party, and of Tilden to the
Democratic party, after defeat" Just
so. Clay ran for the Presidency in 1924
as one of the candidates of the RepublI-
can party, las the Democratic party was
then called and III 1882 as che candidate
of the National Republican party against
Andrew Jackson, and was the nominee
Of the Wing party in 1914 but be never
got another nomination, although he
expected to be nominated in 1S4S and in
1852. Tilden was nominated by his
party once and was-elected. He was
not nominated again, though he cher
ished belief in 1880 that his party
would nominate him by acclamation.- -
There Is nothing in this record to com
fort Mr.. Parsons with the hope of
aDother nomination for Blaine. The
next Republican candidate for the Pres
idency will live beyond the Alleghenies,
and his name will probably be-JOhn
Sherman. -PbjId. Record.

1t is said that Thomas j. Potter, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy railroad has been receiving
salary OF $50, 900 year. 1t is further reported
that as general manager of the Union Pacific
railroad he has signed contract for five years
at an annual compensation of $50, 900 year.
These figures to some may appear en- enormously
beyond the ability of any man TO return an
equivalent in time or work. To others the
larger of these sums will seem small when the
responsibility of the position is fully consider
ed 1t is an affair of daily occurrence, SC
common that no attention is paid to it, for an
employe to receive salary of S1,0J0 a wear for
experimenting the management of business
whose aggregate for year may fall below
S20,00O. There are many men who receive
$1,000 year for directing business whose
volume in the course of year reach $40 0)0
Mr. Potter, as the executive head of the Union
Pacific railroad, will be the direct representa-
tive of a corporation whose capital stock runs
up into the millions of dollars An insight
cant per cent of this enormous aggregate
pays his salary of 1000 year. If he has
the ability to handle millions of dollars in
such way that satisfactory profit is return
ed to the stockholders, then his salary is small
in comparison with that of another officer
who in controlling the same kind of business
fails to make the receipts overbalance the ex-
penses. 1t is from this standpoint that the
services OF the great railroad manager must be
measured. There are very few men capable OF
grasping the details of large business, and
they are therefore in position to command
large compensations. At the same time
the stockholders of the corporation are in
diyidualy paying no more for the services OF
Mr.. Potter than some vastly smaller business
house or factory is paying it's superintendent
who receives salary of $1,000 year. There
are those who contend that no man can earn
S5O,Ooo a year by honest work. This would be
true If the work was confined to digging bitches
or to holding pillow. There are thousands
who can do ordinary kinds of work, and stands
ready to do it for day laborers wages. There
are very few men endowed by nature
with the genius of directing the affairs of an
immense concern successfully. Herein lies the
difference. Davenport Democrat

George Gould and Pacific Mail.

George j. Gould, having been elected presi-
dent of the Pacific Mail, is the youngest man
that ever held so important an office. It is
novelty indeed in Wall street to see a man of
20 at the head of a corporation of $50, 00, 900.
Pacific Mail has been striking illustration of
wall Street fluctuation. During the first decade
II was Immensely rumunerativc, and its share
holders became so accustomed to 20 per cent.
dividends that they little dreamed of a cessa-
ton Or even of diminution. Its quotations
rose to 300, and the knowing ones improved
the opportunity of selling out, after which it
steadily declined. 1t was by operating as a
bull in this stock that Leonard Jerome lost
all he had made during the imitation. He
went in at 200 and his example led many
others to purchase, but they soon saw how
great blunder had been made Dividends
stopped, gross msmanagement was revealed,
ana the quotations fell to par. This ruined
tue Atlantic bank, whose cashiar (Tantor)
had specialized wildly and his penalty was a
term in the pententary, whence he was re-
moved to lunitic asylum, The decline con-
tinued until the quotations fell to Is. and at
TINS rate the shrinkage in the whole CAPITAL
was nearly S1I000,0J0. Many once rich
families, whose entire funds, were thus in
vested, were plunged into poverty, from which
they never recovered, and thus the record of
the Pacific Mail has been one of strange con-
trast, presenting glowing profits on the one
hand and deep misery on the other. It has had
greater number of presidents than any other
institution OF he kind, the changes having
rarely been any improyement.--Cor. Troy

IdahO's Brave Girl.

A year ago wonderful story of the
gallant fight of Theresa Tallert with
mountain lions while defending her
flock of Angora goats on the Little Lost
river, was circulated far and wide in
American and French papers. The
story set forth how late one evening in
her cabin in the foothills of eastern
Idaho she was awakened by animals
racing around in the stockade adjoin-
ing. How she arose, and with hand
AK and her dog Badger, she stole out in
the moonlight to find the lions in pur-
suit of her goats, How, nothing daunt-
ed she attacked them, and cut one TO
the bone with her AK, injured others
and causing the whole, some six in all,
TO flee over the stockade wall.
But the next morn NC the brave girl
discovered that the threats of many OF
her herd had been cut, for fifty of them
lay dead on the ground.
'WeH. our girls been making anoth-
er record, said A. j. Bruner, of Eous-
ton, Idaho. to an EEantuer man yester-
day, land she got in her work in fine
style, the usual way with her. She
never looks upon a job until it is COM
pleted artistically."
whats she been doing now?"

lions. You see, year ago, after
Theresa's fight with them, ID. b. Haw-
ley and other raisers of Angora goats.
those who had suffered losses, put their
heads together and organized posse
to kill them off. They killed great
many and pretty well thined them out.
it was thought For some months
thereafter there were few of them seen
around, and these were very wary.
Lately, however. the lions have
come to the front. The foothills have
seemed to be swarming with them.
They again invaded the stockades and
sucked the blood of the goats, whose
Threats they cut.
Miss Tallert, who had lost some
more of her flock, and knew that the
lions came around there quite often at
night. got a couple of big Winchesters,
and loaded them with buckshot a few
nights ago; then she dug out the chink-
ing between the logs on the side of her
cabin next to the stockade, and from
this port hole she took up her station.
"Well, in five nights in this way she
killed thirteen mountain lions, and she
says she is not through with them yet.
Her herd of goats comprises some
five hundred in all, and perhaps thirty
or fifty have been killed in the last
month OF two"
Miss Tallert is a German girl who
has been ranching on the Little Lost
river for three or four years. The
country round there is good for An
CORA goats, and she got her start by
working first for wages for A. j.
Bruner, who is the biggest grower in
that region. -Sdn Francisco Examiner.

CRAZED BY BAD TEMPER.
What Befell n Beautiful Mexican
Bride

Bride.
One of the prettiest girls of Zaca
tecas, belonging to one of the bes
ia miles in the state, has just been adj
mitted to the insane asylum in tina
city, a hopeless maniac. The story O
the trouble which wrecked her for s
season is one of the saddest that ha.
ever been written. Born the daughter
of wealthy parents, an only child, she
was INDUCED in everything, and il
consequence her naturally sweet dis
position was thoroughly spoiled, an6
whenever an attempt was made tC
cross her wishes she had the mos
frightful outbursts of temper, which
always ended in all around her yielding
and allowing her to carry her point.
On the 4th of March of the present
year she was married to 81 wealthy
hacendado whose extensive place is
located near Zacatecas. The wedding
was a grand affair, and the young
couple started life together with the
brightest prospects. Soon after marri'
age, however, there arose slight dis.
putes between husband and wife, which
ended, as has been the case all through
the girls life, in her favor, the hus
band, naturally highspirited man,
yielding invariably before her awful
fits of violence. This, finally, however,
became unbearable to the young mar.
ried man and he determined to break
his wife,.s frightful temper and assert
his manhood, trusting that they would
live more happily together in the end.
So upon the next occasion when there
arose difference of opinion on some
tr0ing matter he remained firm and
utterly refused to yield his point. His
wife stormed and flew into perfect
rage of passion, but he remained UNI
moved, and finally, when the exhibit
ton of temper was assuming phase
where the young woman commenced
breaking the breakfast dishes-they
were at their morning meal when the
trouble arose-in the impotency of her
wrath, he clutched her tightly by the
arm, and in a rough tone insisted that
she should quiet down. She gave him
one awful look, then with a wild shrek.
she tore herself from his grip and
moving away few steps fell to the
ground foaming at the mouth. Medical
aid was at once summoned. but for
hours she lay unconscious. occa-
sionally struggling violently. and then
relapsing into quietness again, After
while she opened her eyes, took a
long look around upon the people
gathered about her bed, and with a
bloodcurdling shrek sprang from the
bed, and before any one could prevent
her was cut of the house and racing
madly over the fields. All present
gave chase, and after long, exhaust
ing run the mad woman was overtaken
by her husband, and held fast until as
sistance arrived. The best medical
ad procurable was obtained for her.
but her reason remained in darkness
and, the physicians predict there is
positively no hope for her recovery. -
